I decided to speedrun Stick War Legacy and it almost destroyed my sanity

[@floppydisksareop]

The reason for the second giant after the statue is that initially in the Flash version, it was only the Statue, and it was a massive subversion of expectations. Since most people who downloaded Legacy have played the Flash version before, they were expecting the statue. What they were not expecting was the even bigger dude.

[@anzyroadside2374]

I always thought that spawn camping the enemies in all of the ambush stages is a little bit faster than just turtling. You can spam a lot of swordsmen quickly and then have them jump attacking on the enemies upon their entry. For those who are new, you can actually use the first swordsman you build to kill the miners while running around the initial enemies to cheese every normal 'destroy the statue' stage. Killing off either your enemy army or enemy miners triggers them into retreating their units and turning them into fewer invulnerable archers, but killing the miners is easier (usually with just one jump attack from behind). Afterwards, you can just mine and build up your army without worrying if you don't bring the statue's HP below the reinforcement threshold. This kills their economy (they have passive income like you do, but it sucks too) and lets you mass up your forces to let you have enough to kill off their reinforcement or just outright bring down the statue.

[@handlemyd-]

Yeah, I rushed one unit controlled and end their miners so they slightly slow down their build

[@MrSpooky55]

Yeah but the thing is they’re an AI and don’t actually rely on miners for income :/

[@altairauditore3782]

@@htetphoneaung697 User controlled archers are worth their weight in gold when fighting against kai and magikill. The only problem is that one has to practice and train themselves with the user controls. A single user controlled archidon's headshot kills everyone except for a giant and a spearton. And a large number of archers with maybe a couple of speartons are the best strategy(like in westwind) against magikill and even I the endless night modes till around night 25.

@@htetphoneaung697 i get the swarming strategy works now here and is OP. I am not saying it doesn't work. But I was also thinking about the original flash game. And yeah I tend to do archer spearton because I like user controlling units. Makes it more exciting for me personally. Plus for the archer spearton thing I am talking 25 30 archers with a wall of speartons. If giants are involved then maybe one or two magikill. Adjust numbers as necessary. I prefer the slow burn total domination time. Snipe from afar with your user controlled archidon and if the enemy is too close, defend your troops with user controlled spearton especially with the vampire skin. TLDR the original flash game was less vulnerable to sword wrath spam plus personal preferences make me like the archer spearton more.
